Ajax's prolific striker Luis Suarez has reassured the Dutch club that he
has not agreed a transfer to Chelsea, despite reports to the
contrary in recent weeks.
It has been suggested that Suarez, who has scored an impressive
17 goals in 16 Eredivisie appearances this season, has already
agreed to join Chelsea in the summer of 2010, should their appeal
against a FIFA transfer ban be successful.
But Ajax have sought clarification from the player himself and
Suarez insists he has not come to any agreement with Chelsea,
according to managing director Rik van den Boog.
"I have asked Luis directly and he does not know anything," Van
den Boog told Voetbal International.
Suarez, 22, is one of Europe's most promising strikers and has
reportedly attracted interest from a wide range of clubs thanks to
his performances with Ajax, where he has scored 56 goals in 80
Eredivisie games.
The former Groningen and Nacional striker also scored five goals
as Uruguay qualified for the World Cup finals by coming through a
play-off against Costa Rica.
